PLANNING COMMISSION: Full Cycle Deferral

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: Deferral 6-0-0.
PLANNING STAFF ANALYSIS: Since the last Board of Commissioners meeting on May 23rd, Staff has not received any site plan revisions to clarify the proposed mix of land uses including any proposed “back lot operations” relating to outdoor construction/staging/storage and/or filming uses. The subject application is to rezone the 23.7 acre from the MU-5 (Mixed Use Very High Density) (Conditional) District to the MU-5 (Mixed Use -5) (Conditional) District. The surrounding area is in a transition and comprises a mix of residential, multi-family, and industrial zoned land which contain single-family, multi-family, and vacant land uses. A well designed mixed-use project would be an appropriate transition from the vacant industrial M-zoned land to the south and the single-family subdivision to the north. Staff continues to work with the applicant to obtain and review the necessary information to determine the appropriateness of this request. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Planning & Sustainability Department is “Full Cycle Deferral to allow the applicant additional time to submit the required information.”

deferral, per staff recommendation. The motion passed 6-0-0.
COMMUNITY COUNCIL VOTE/RECOMMENDATION: Deferral 10-0-0. CC3 recommended full cycle deferral to give the applicant more time to develop his proposal and submit a revised site plan.
